Circles, lines, and colour 🌈

Taking a page out of the Delaunay playbook for this abstract project. We used a variety of bowls to stamp the black ink circles, foam strips to print the geometric lines, and packed a punch by filling the spaces with rich chalk pastels and blending them on the spaces.

A perfect mix of printmaking, geometry, and colour theory!

If you’re looking for a project that tackles line,shape, and a bit of art history without requiring a ton of prep, this folded Picasso emotions project is a winner.
Explore how Picasso used Cubism to show different perspectives and emotions all at once, then bring it to life on a simple accordion-folded sheet of paper.
• Instant 3D: No clay or complex armatures needed. Just a simple Z-fold or accordion fold, and it stands completely on its own.
• Low Prep, High Engagement: Great for using up cardstock scraps, oil pastels, markers, or colored pencils.
• Emotional Literacy: It’s a fantastic entry point for middle or upper elementary students to talk about expressing different moods through color choices and distorted facial features.

Combining watercolour techniques and drawing techniques. Start with a textured watercolour base. Using a pen, draw the outline of poppies and fill in the space around the flowers with black marker. Draw on details of the poppies and then create another layer over the poppies using white pen. Work with a single line drawing technique or trial other drawing processes to add detail.
